Revue Paralia, 2016 During the implementation of the EU Flood directive, high resolution (Lidar) digital terrain models (DTM) were produced massively on nearly all the French coast. With those date, the methods used to map sea flooding on the Mediterranean coast were the simple superposition of a sea level on the natural terrain.

Versatile Gasochromic Hydrogen Detection via Supraparticle‐Based Applied Composite Materials
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Silica‐platinum‐resazurin supraparticles are embedded into PMMA to form suprabeads and thin films. The thereby obtained indicators change color from purple to pink to colorless on hydrogen exposure. The indicator systems are tested under various environmental conditions, and their performance is related to their microscopically visualized structure ...

Catastrophes versus events in the geologic past: how does the scale matter? [PDF]
, 2013 [Abstract] Catastrophes were common in the geologic past, but their distinction from other events is necessary. Besides magnitude (strength), scales of events are important in a solution of this task.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Modelling the Effectiveness of Vegetative Nature‐Based Solutions for Coastal Flood Risk Mitigation
Journal of Flood Risk ManagementTraditional grey solutions, such as seawalls, are increasingly recognised as being unsustainable for long‐term coastal flood risk management, due to high costs and negative environmental impacts.
